8:22 AM: Scatter Brained

 Later than usual for me to be doing my first view photo of the day.  What can I say?  I’m a little scatter brained this morning.

I am going to have to repair the charging port on my Iphone this morning.  I will need it to work starting on the 28th.  If I stayed at home all the time, I could kept my phone charged using the wireless charger I have; but, I have to be on the road for hours at a time and so that wouldn't be good.

I was on a chat channel in Rednote, a Chinese social app, this morning.  My mic was suddenly blocked by the platform.  I am not sure what I had said to have this done but it is not the first time.

So i said that Trump was wrong to have made the social media post he did about Reiner's death.  Nothing Trump said in the post was incorrect, but it could have been said at another time.  But i have learned that it turned out that Reiner had wished publicly for the Trump's potential assassin to have been successful, and for Trump's head to have been in the right position to have been fully impacted by the bullet.  No one on the progressive, liberal TDS side was clutching their pearls about that.  Still, two wrongs don't make a right.  

What happened to my beard.  I bought a train trimmer and  i ,put it on the wrong setting.  I trimmed off more than I wanted to, but it will grow back, so fear not.

50,000 Reads on Red Note

 A milestone I suppose.  Red Note is a Chinese Social App.

万 is 10,000 in simplified Chinese.

Monday Morning View

About to wake up my son Tony so he can go to school.

Today, I will hopefully get through some bureaucratic hurdles.  On 小红书，Red Notes, I am trying to get my real name verification done so I can livestream on the App.  So far, my application has been rejected three times.  But it is common I have been told.  I also hope that my up-to-date translation of my Chinese Driver's License will arrive so that I can get my Manitoba Driver's License, for which I have already passed the knowledge and road test.  I still get spasms of anger at the stupidity of the latter.  As my neighbor said, any time you have to deal with the government, it is a hassle.

I will have to mow my Mom's lawn again today.  Hopefully, my son will help.  I didn't know that you had to mow the lawn once a week.  

I sent the above photo to a contact on Red Note.  They thought it was wonderful.
